I think it was a well-tried Soviet idea, also practiced in China etc. to diagnose people with pathological hatred of the socialist state and commit them to mental institution.

Recent bout of oppositional pathology was that some bloggers had the cheek to carp that Cheney could kind of look in the direction he wants to shoot BEFORE shooting. (Or check the basic facts that were used to justify a war BEFORE that war. This was a connecting made by regularly sedicious Daily Show). Krauthammer reasonably noticed that Cheney could try to tackle his hunting buddy and break a number of ribs, and puncture a lung — but he did not! Why can’t we look at all those empty glasses that remain unbroken, rather than at the half-empty glass?

They can’t possibly believe this can they?

They can’t even get it up enough to decry warrantless wiretaps, and they have legal training!

Posting Administration talking points verbatim isn’t really “commentary” in the traditional sense.

In their defense, justme, it’s kind of hard to “get laid” when you’re already busy carrying on a torrid love affair with the sound of your own voice.

Seriously, folks, does anybody here think for a moment that any one of these guys ever got laid in high school/college? No wonder they’re angry and delusional.

The Warsaw ghetto uprising? Those loonies were just suffering from Hitler Derangement Syndrome.

Woops, that’s Deacon, not Hindrocket. Or maybe Big Trunk. Who gives a fuck, though.

I think Bush Derangement Syndrome was invented by Krauthammer. Hindrocket is right -- he does do the same thing as Washington Post commentators. Sad for our country.

Powerswine, as typical right wing hacks, get it backwards. Bush Derangement Syndrome is making excuses for the liar, election thief, aWol, frog blasting, wiretapping, corrupt, immoral, venal Bush and calling it conservatism.

‘Bush Derangement Syndrome’ is a mental illness characterised by a chronic depression over the objective fact that the President of the United States is a moronic lying shithead.

There is no real cure, as the illness is a side-effect of too much intelligence combined with a concern for moral issues; the only treatment is isolation from news of any sort, and total immersion in work.

To toot my own horn: BDS.

See, her name is Dr. Sanity. I think she got that nick in high school during homecoming week. It was “Opposites Day”: up is down, black is white, she’s a lady*, etc…

Anyone have any idea where this “Bush Derangement Syndrome” bullshit started?

Since I really don’t like the face this guys presents to the public, I don’t like his proposed policies, I don’t like the steps he’s taken to implement those policies, or hell, anything he’s really done in office so far… I’m _crazy?_

I, for one, enjoy being on the disgraceful left side of the blogosphere. For a while, I was involved in its seamy underbelly, then dabbled around in its right wing, and finally ended up lodged in its upper-mid quadrant. Ouch!

I don’t think that I do the same thing, or provide the same service, as blogs run by guys with self-chosen homo-erotic nicknames like “Big Trunk” or “Hindrocket.” They are basically “me too” centers for people suffering from daddy issues.I aspire to be the Queen of the World, and as such have more in common with Jesus.

What a coincidence, I aspire to be the Noel Coward of my generation. I wonder if it’s working out as marvelously for them as it is for me.

For example, we don’t think that we do the same thing, or provide the same service, as most top-tier lefty blogs. They are basically activism centers for people suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome. We aspire to be commentators, and as such have more in common with the opinion mongers (liberal and conservative) whose work appears in traditional MSM outlets.

Stop it. You’re killing me.
